diary of a nobody

Chapter 17

 Today I woke up to my phone ringing rapidly, it was so loud it reminded me of the sound of the ambulance that took my mom to the hospital. I turned on my phone to see the hospitals number with made my stomach starts to turn and my heart felt as though it had just disconnected from my body and dropped to the bottom of my stomach.

 The hospital only calls if it is an emergency.

I answer the phone call after it had rung 7 times. Considering it was 3:26 in the morning I knew it was an emergency.

A lady on the other end says that Christie Maller passed away 4 hours ago. I told her I would be there in 20 minutes with my little brother. She responded with best wishes and healing upon this time blah blah blah. She said it as though she was required to and she already had said in 100 times today.

I woke up joey and he had an emotional breakdown and an anxiety attack after I told him mommy was gone.

Since he was not capable of nothing himself I got the bathe ready and I washed his hair. I told him he needed to wash his body so he did and than we were out the door. I figured it just the hospital a messy bun will work, and I covered up any stink I had with my favorite perfume and some old spice deodorant.

Once we arrived at the hospital I ran to her room with joey in my arms. I flung open the door and felt my heart shatter and break more than anybody could imagine.

I broke.

My moms face was almost white. Her heart wasn't beating and her eyes were open. I closed her eyes and picked up joey but than fell to the ground in a puddle of emotions. SHE WAS GONE. I need her. I screamed wake up! But nothing happened I just sat there on my knees with Joey in my arms until I could get myself to stop crying .

I stood back up and carried joey out the door who was now asleep. I buckled him in the car and drove home.

I was now living illegally, and there was still 2 months till I would officially be 18.I hoped than nobody would find out.

I arrived at our house which was now mine. I unbuckled joey and picked him up. I walked through the door I carried him to my bed and than layed down beside him and fell asleep for another 4 hours.
